(PRWEB) September 5, 2004 -- How many of you want your children to have the opportunity to be financially independent before they are 35?    How many of you are still teaching your children the old school theory study hard, get good grades, go to a good college/university and you will get a good job"? How many of you want something new and exciting to encourage your child to think outside of the box? That is what Are You For Real is asking of all parents, grandparents and teachers.

Are You For Real, a training company based out of Edmonton, Alberta, has just launched its FFL classes designed especially for school aged children. Starting in October, Are You For Real will be hosting after school and weekend classes on FUNctional Financial Literacy. Most schools and parents are teaching our children to be excellent employees, not employers," says Barbilee Hemmings, B.A.; B.Ed. But its not our fault!" cautioned Hemmings a teacher since 1995. We have a curriculum to follow and a time frame to complete it in. And parents can only teach what they know; they went through the same system that their kids are currently in."

It is sad but true, our current school focus is teaching children to study hard, get good grades so they can get into a good college and get a good job! Dywayne clarifies, Dont get me wrong, I love teachers, my wife is a teacher. I know the dedication and drive she puts into her students every day. We just want all students and their parents to know that there is more to learning than just getting good grades in the classroom."

Dywayne adds, My banker doesnt ask to see my report card when I am going in to get a loan or renew my mortgage on a rental property, she wants to see my financial records. A lot of parents dont even know what that is. Or worse yet, they are too afraid to look at theirs let alone discuss them with their children." Are You For Real wants every child to know how to understand not only what a financial record is but how it applies to the success of their future.

One thing is absolutely certain, and Dywayne makes it exceptionally clear, Are You For Real and its instructors DO NOT promote dropping out of school at any grade. A high school diploma, a college certificate or university degree is still priceless. No one can ever take your education from you," Hemmings clarifies, but a financial education is every bit as important in todays informational world."

Classes begin in October. Anyone wishing to give the special children in their life the financial education they deserve is asked to contact Are You For Real at 780-909-9987 to find out about class location and availability.
